With flipped learning, concept instruction is delivered outside the class through videos and online discussions.
Class time is then spent doing what would have normally been assigned as homework. “School work at home and homework at school” (Flipped Learning Network [FLN], 2014, para. 2) is the premise of a flipped classroom.
While many teachers have students watch a video at home and then complete an activity at school, this type of flipped classroom may not necessarily lead to the pedagogical approach of flipped learning (FLN, 2014). The Flipped Learning Network (FLN), comprised of experienced flipped educators, created guidelines to help teachers engage in the process and to assist administrators in supporting teachers. Jon Bergmann, secretary– treasurer of FLN, noted, “It’s a baseline—or roadmap—containing the principles of Flipped Learning” (Piehler, 2014, para. 3). To engage students in flipped learning, and not simply a flipped classroom, incorporate the FLN’s Four Pillars of F-L-I-P.

Eight Tips For A Successful Start: Teaching Special Ed
I nervously stood outside the front door of the school and waited to greet my first class. A teacher brought a little girl over to me and said, “This is Olivia. Hold on tight—she runs.” I had tried to prepare myself for this instant, determined to make an impact on my new students. Despite my preparation, I was overwhelmed by the first day of school. These eight tips highlight what I wish I had known that first day as a Special Education teacher.
No Interference, Please!
English language learners (ELLs) often struggle with grammar. When working with ELLs, one effective strategy is focusing on first language (L1) interference. Teachers who understand how an L1 can interfere with second language acquisition can target grammar trouble spots with which students struggle. Through pedagogical grammar instruction, teachers also can prioritize which grammar trouble spots to teach based on those most likely to impede comprehension, and depending on the communicative context (Hinkel, 2016). Teachers then can put ELLs on a path to success by helping them gain greater control of sentence structure, subject–verb agreement, prepositions, and articles.
Teacher Listening To Enhance Learning: Five Strategies For Success
Epictetus (1907/1980) once said, “We have two ears and one mouth, so we can listen twice as much as we speak.” However, when preservice teachers are asked to picture a teacher and describe what they see, they typically describe the teacher standing in the front of the classroom speaking to a group of attentive students. Our classroom experience reinforced the practice that students should sit and listen while teachers stand and talk.

Flipped learning is an instructional approach that typically involves students watching videos and completing online activities as homework, and then engaging in applied learning during class time. Teachers flip their classes because they know their students will participate in more meaningful activities and take ownership for their learning. Flipping allows teachers to provide more differentiated instruction and feedback. These nine basic guidelines will help you flip a unit in your class.

Social media is everywhere these days. From Facebook (www.facebook.com) to YouTube (www.youtube.com), students use social media to connect and share information with friends, family, and even strangers. Why not use social media in the classroom to keep things interesting? It can be a powerful tool that can lead to more engagement both inside and outside the classroom (Sim & Pop, 2014), as well as increased student satisfaction (Sylvia, 2014).

FLIP On The LAMP: TIPS For Lighting The Way For ELLs In The Flipped Classroom
The concept of flipped classrooms has been the focus of a significant number of recent articles in teaching journals (see the KDP Record, April–June 2015) and online. In a flipped classroom “students are introduced to content at home, and practice working through it at school” (TeachThought, 2014). For example, students might watch a brief prerecorded video at home as direct instruction on the concepts or topics and then apply that information the next day in classroom activities. Therefore, the amount of time spent learning is extended.
